Lawnmower or racecar?

[Manny]

OK, I just read this about a guy who has the world's fastest lawnmower!

World's fastest lawnmower - europe - world | Stuff.co.nz

If you'll notice, he is on the beach with it! Yeah, fast is one thing, but can it cut grass? That's what I want to know!

The article says...
"Don Wales yesterday cut the record, after first cutting a patch of grass to prove he was riding a lawnmower, recording an average speed of 138.5kmh on Pendine Sands in Wales."

so I guess it will cut grass also... :smile:KennyV

Far to dangerous, not worth dieing for.....will stick to my low speed reel mower on a nice lawn....but it has done 100 miles per hour travelling inside the back of my Van though.

Thanks for the clip, it was a lot of fun to watch. When I saw the size of the truck I was waiting for a monster machine but it looked small! I do enjoy watching people with such passion for something.

That's a good movie. For those who don't know, "Indian" is a brand of motorcycle and Anthony Hopkins played a man who attempted a land speed record on an Indian -- in the 1960s, on a 1920 motorcycle.
